Keltham will at least mention the general concept, as a one-level-up illustration of the idea of filtered evidence in #7, of trying to assess how much of an incredibly persuasive argument you should hear for true things versus false things when the person talking has Splendour 30; it's analogous to asking how many Queen coin-spins you expect somebody to be able to tell you about, if the coin is actually biased Queen or Text and was flipped twelve times.  if you don't think you're calibrated on expected persuasiveness of high Splendour, or if you expect that to amount to direct mind control, don't talk to people with that much Splendour, obviously.

Keltham's actually kind of curious about the whole Splendour thing?  Is it safe for somebody to try incredibly high Splendour on him, to see if that works on dath ilani, like at all?

The whole thing seems analogous to something Keltham knows about from dath ilan, and which he, like almost everybody else in dath ilan, is incredibly curious about.

One of the qualification tests for a fifth-rank Keeper is getting put into a prison, with a single guard in the person of some average dath ilani who's otherwise expecting to go into cryonic suspension shortly after.  The Guard gets told not to let the Keeper out, and offered a pretty substantial financial incentive not to do that, payable to friends or relatives or favorite charities.  The Guard has to solemnly affirm that they intend to resist any attempts to be persuaded to let the Keeper out, that they're not planning to throw the test.  The Keeper is obviously forbidden to offer any considerations outside the test; they can't promise to pay even more money to the person's relatives or favorite charity than the incentive, if they're let out.  The Guard does have to go on listening to the Keeper, talking back to them, and so on.

To be a fifth-rank Keeper you have to persuade the person to let you out before they next sleep; you can go into overtime but only persuading the other person to go on talking to you.

To be a sixth-rank Keeper you have to do it in an hour flat with somebody who isn't average, somebody smarter than Keltham, and they have to be between 30 and 40 years old.

To become an eighth-rank Keeper, of which there are maybe three dozen in dath ilan, you have to persuade your way through a second-rank Keeper.

Obviously nobody except higher-ranked Keepers ever get to find out what goes into those conversations.

They don't lack for volunteers on the rare occasions where an opening comes up.  Everybody else is so incredibly curious about what the Keepers could possibly, possibly be saying.  If you're going into cryosuspension anyways, why wouldn't you find out?

Keltham is actually kind of curious about whether he could do that to, say, an INT 16 person from Golarion who'd never heard of Law.  But, not something he's really got the spare time to test right now.
